Buffett's little-known role in saving Harley Davidson

"Warren Buffett loaned about $300 million to Harley-Davidson during the financial crisis.

The motorcycle maker needed cash in the face of softer demand and liquidity drying up.

Buffett made about $150 million in five years, but could have raked in $1 billion owning the stock."

"The pair effectively loaned it a combined $600 million for five years at a hefty 15% annual interest rate."

"The high-interest loan was its only option to borrow money without giving up a stake in the company, he added".
